Twins' Carlos Correa: Set for MRI on wrist
Rotowire
Correa, who left Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets with a sore left wrist, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports. "The wrist is something I've been working on since spring," Correa said. "Just strengthening it, and I just felt a tweak on the swing and miss and then when I hit the foul ball, I felt pain in the area. It shouldn't be anything too serious."
Correa appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's series finale due to the injury. More information about his status will be known when the MRI results are disclosed, but the fact that his wrist issue dates back to last season is worrisome.
Correa (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Twins' Carlos Correa: Pulled with wrist injury
Rotowire
Correa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left wrist soreness, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Correa was favoring his left hand/wrist after taking a swing in the fifth inning, and he had to leave the game without finishing his at-bat. If the 30-year-old infielder ends up needing to miss any amount of time, Brooks Lee would be next in line for more starts at shortstop.
Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Correa will retreat to the bench for the first time all season after drawing 15 consecutive starts. Willi Castro will fill in at shortstop for Correa, who should be back in the lineup for the Twins' next game Monday against the Mets.
